Re: JT400 - MCH1210 when refreshing Squirrel

Couple of suggestions:

1) Try going back to the last version of JTOPEN that worked. It's easy to do. And there is a version of JTOPEN somewhere in the Client Access folders if you want a really old one. (When I upgraded to 3.2.0 I also installed the latest JTOPEN but had to go back to an earlier JTOPEN because it kept dropping the connection after 5 seconds of inactivity, so there may be something incompatible in it.)

2) There is a SQuirreL support list. They are volunteers and they don't know anything much about AS/400s, but they are helpful and may have an idea.

All,



I’m having two problems configuring Squirrel which may or may not be
related. Recent installs of Java (ver 1.6.0_21) JTOPEN (7.4) and Squirrel
(3.2.1). I’m able to set the current lib via the jdbc connect string and run
SQL statements in Squirrel just fine. Connect string =
jdbc:as400://12.345.678.90/jking1.



The Object Tree isn’t being populated, though, and without that function I’m
still chained to the green-screen tools. I’ve experimented with the Driver
Properties “database name” and “Libraries” to no positive effect.



a) The Object Tree shows the main object categories: ALIAS,
SYSTEM_TABLE, TABLE, VIEW, etc, but each is category is empty. When I select
“Connect database and refresh schema table” from the alias properties, the
log file records an MCH1210 error.



“2011-06-21 16:33:26,281 [AWT-EventQueue-1] ERROR
net.sourceforge.squirrel_sql.client.session.SessionManager - Failed to get
allowed Schemas java.sql.SQLException: [MCH1210] Receiver value too small to
hold result.



b) When I select one of the categories (say TABLE) and attempt to
“Refresh Item” or “Refresh Tree and Cache”, the log file records a different
error:



“2011-06-21 17:09:46,046 [AWT-EventQueue-1] ERROR
net.sourceforge.squirrel_sql.client.session.schemainfo.SchemaInfo - Error
loading uncached tables java.sql.SQLException: [SQL0199] Keyword BY not
expected. Valid tokens:< > =<> <= !< !> !=>= ¬< ¬> ¬= IN IS NOT LIKE
BETWEEN.”



Is this a JT400 thing or is there some combination of Driver Properties
that I haven’t twigged to yet?



This Java novice has about reached the limits of his knowledge – any
assistance would be appreciated!
